Our Mission Demonstrated...

“Since I’ve been here they (NTSS) really have evolved their ways of helping us,” she [Dawn Seward, graduate student] said. “If you ever have a question or need advice on what is best for you, they always lead you in the right direction.” (Daily Egyptian, Jan. 26, 2014)

“The breaking point, honestly, was that support that I needed, and I needed to know that when I moved here someone was going to acknowledge that I’m a new student and I needed resources,” Dianna Balan [undergraduate student] said. (Daily Egyptian, May 7, 2014)
